Maritime Museum of San Diego has resumed marine operations for the popular day sail adventure experience aboard San Salvador, a replica of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s ship that arrived at the port we now call San Diego on September 28, 1542. These 4-hour Sailing Adventures are for people who love history, and sailing. Very few people have sailed aboard galleons of the sixteenth century and these day sails offer the public a chance to be aboard the magnificent galleon, San Salvador. No sailing experience required.

Guests will learn of the ship's history, connecting story to our Pacific Heritage, and the impact of ships like Explorer Cabrillo’s San Salvador during the age of exploration. Underway guests may not only learn more about the discovery of the West Coast, they can lend a hand to sail crew, truly experience what it was like if they were to go back in time 500 years!
